Abstract
This is a Chinese journalism feature series on female ex-offenders in Singapore which focuses on the self, family and community effort in their rehabilitation journey. It explores the different challenges faced by female ex-offenders (as compared to male ex-offenders) in reintegrating into society successfully.
A series of features tells of how imprisonment changed an ex-offender’s attitude to life and how being employed played an important role in her reintegration journey (摆脱毒品 争得自由); how opportunities of employment through rehabilitation programmes helped ex-offenders get back on track (重回职场 自力更生); how family played different roles in two ex-offenders’ life and the relationship of incarcerated mothers and their children (为了家 不再回头); how volunteers provided ex-offenders with social support in their reintegration (义工故事: 让她们找回灵的归宿); how an ex-offender used her background to connect easily with other ex-offenders and the reasons behind her avid volunteering work (迷途知返 不再孤‘毒’).
